In primary and secondary education, school networking initiatives, or schoolnets, improve access to the Internet. Applications in non-formal education have also been developing, but at a much more basic level. The new models and initiatives follow a continuum between traditional models and the totally virtual ones. They imply profound changes in educational models and systems, but they must also overcome fear and resistance to change. Likewise, the Farm and Home Unit has been recording and broadcasting various farmer Welfare schemes due to which the farmers are able to gain knowledge about various schemes and aspects in Agriculture and benefit from them. CONCLUSION To improve the reach of the programme this programme may be broadcast (audio streaming) thorough mobile phone and internet (pod casting) and a house journal may be circulated among the stakeholders of this programme. Periodically workshops may be conducted for the farm radio listeners for the knowledge sharing and cross learning. To ensure the two-way Communication, at the end each programme there could be a space and time for listener s interaction through phone and SMS. The farm school lessons may send on monthly basis to reduce the communication gap among the learners. Reference books: 1.Ahuja B.N (1978) - Mass Communications, Verma Brothers, New Delhi. 2.
